If a ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals stands, a homeowner who claims her television exploded and caused a fire that killed her husband and son will never get a chance to take her case to a jury.

Writing for a panel of three, Judge M. Yvette Miller came down on the side of LG Electronics against Debbie Cash. Miller upheld Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Pamela South, who dismissed Cash's causation expert on a Daubert challenge, then granted summary judgment in favor of LG.

“The evidence in this case shows that, on the morning of July 6, 2011, Cash's son woke up and went into the living room to watch TV,” Miller wrote. “He then came into Cash's room and told Cash and her husband that the house was on fire. When Cash looked in the living room, she saw green-black smoke and that the entire entertainment center was on fire.”
